The Polar Express
In the mood for some good old-fashioned holiday cheer? Then take a ride on The Polar Express, a delightful, if somewhat mechanical, tale about the spirit of Christmas.
Based on Chris Van Allsburg's enchanting, award winning children's book, the story begins on a snowy Christmas Eve, where a doubting young boy lies in his bed, waiting to hear the sound he doesn't know if he believes in anymore: the tinkle of Santa's sleigh bells. What he hears instead, however, is the thunderous roar of an approaching train, where no train should be: it's the Polar Express. Rushing outside in only a robe and slippers, the incredulous boy meets the train's conductor who urges him to come onboard. Suddenly, the boy finds himself embarking on an extraordinary journey to the North Pole, with a number of other children--including a girl who has the tools to be a good leader but lacks confidence; a know-it-all boy who lacks humility; and a lonely boy, who just needs to have a little faith in other people to make his dreams come true. Together, the children discover that the wonder of Christmas never fades for those who believe. As the conductor wisely advises, ''It doesn't matter where the train is going. What matters is deciding to get on.'' Gives ya goose bumps, doesn't it?
Talk about a vanity project for Tom Hanks. He portrays several of the characters in the film--the conductor, the hobo who mysteriously appears and disappears on the Polar Express, the boy's father. Wait, isn't that Hanks playing Santa Claus as well? But if anyone can pull off some cheesy dialogue about the spirit of Christmas, this Oscar-winning actor can. Interestingly, the film also incorporates adults to play the children (none of the characters have names, actually) with Hanks as the Hero Boy; Hanks' Bosom Buddies pal Peter Scolari as the Lonely Boy; The Matrix Revolutions Nona Gaye as the Hero Girl; and veteran voice actor Eddie Deezen as the Know-It-All Boy. Everyone does a good job but trying to make CGI-created people seem real is a difficult undertaking. With
The Polar Express, director Robert Zemeckis has created an entirely new way to do computer animation called ''performance capture.'' ''[It's a process that] offers a vivid rendering of the Van Allsburg world while infusing a sense of heightened realism into the performances. It's like putting the soul of a live person into a virtual character,'' visual effects wizard and longtime Zemeckis collaborator Ken Ralston explains. Oh, is that all? Problem is, no matter how hard they try, it doesn't work--not completely. Similar to flaws in the 2001 Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, virtual characters just can't convey human emotion as well as real-life actors, plain and simple. And with a touching story like Polar Express, that real-life connection is missed at times.
Of course, like the images in the book, it's still an exceptionally beautiful film to watch. Zemeckis enjoys being a filmmaking innovator. He charmed audiences with a lively blend of live action and manic animation in the 1988 classic action comedy Who Framed
Roger Rabbit? and then wowed them with the 1994 Oscar-winning Forrest Gump, blending authentic archival footage of historic figures with the actors. Now, with The Polar Express, it's this performance capture, which gives Zemeckis unlimited freedom in creating the world he wants. And boy, does he make use of it. True, the story is a classic, but the director knows he has to make The Polar Express exciting for the tykes-- simply riding around in a train to North Pole without any thrills certainly wouldn't be enough for the ADD world we live in. To accomplish this, the film is padded with exhilarating scenes, such as the train going on a giant roller coaster ride through the mountains and across frozen lakes (too bad Warner Bros. doesn't have a theme park) and the boy's race across the top of the snowy Polar Express. Even the North Pole is a booming magical Mecca, filled with some pretty boisterous (and weird looking) elves, who like to send Santa off in style Christmas Eve--watch out for Aerosmith's Steven Tyler, making a cameo as a jammin' elf. Ho-ho-ho!
Bottom Line
Even though it may lack a human touch here and there, The Polar Express is still a brilliant effort in CGI-animation and will certainly evoke the Christmas spirit in us all.

Meet "mohammed's bishop"
Pray to Allah, Dutch bishop suggests
Amsterdam, Aug. 14, 2007 (CWNews.com) - A Dutch Catholic bishop has suggested that Christians should refer to God as "Allah" to promote better relations with Muslims. Bishop Martinus "Tiny" Muskens of Breda told the "Network" television show that "God doesn't really care how we address Him." (Gee, then why not let the Greeks refer to The Almighty as Zeus; the Italians, Jupiter; the Scandinavians, Odin; the Micronesians, Lowa, etc?)
Pointing out that "Allah" is a term already used by Christians who speak Arabic, Bishop Muskens said that humans are needlessly divided over such terminology. God, the bishop said, is above such "bickering." The Dutch bishop admitted that his suggestion was not likely to gain widespread acceptance. But he predicted that within a century or two, Dutch Catholics would be addressing prayers to "Allah." (Forget about "a century or two". At the rate moslems are taking over Holland, count on EVERYONE in that nation calling the Almighty "allah" in a decade or two. And don't count on many of them being Catholics, either.)
Bishop Muskens has a history of creating occasional controversy within the Church. He has broken with Vatican leadership to endorse the use of condoms as a means of preventing the spread of AIDS, and in 2006 he traveled to Uganda to endorse the work of a group called Stop AIDS Now, which emphasized condom distribution. (What a guy.)
Even among Arab Christians, it's been accepted to refer to The Almighty as "Allah", even though "allah" is also the pagan Arab name for the moon god. One can only surmise that "Allah" was forced into the lexicon of Arab Christians by the moslems. Admittedly, I'm not Biblical scholar, nor am I a translator of ancient Middle Eastern languages... but I have found that the ancient Palestinian Aramaic (pre-moslem) word for God was 'El raba' = 'Great God'. Not quite "allah", is it?
If anyone has any more specific information on the pre-moslem Arabic word for God, it would be appriciated if you would pass it along.

If you do find a recording of "intimidation" please post the mp3 recording directly below this post. I would love to hear it.
I'm not sure if it's been recorded officially yet, since it was debuted two years ago (per RR's request). Any current MMB folk remember if they did this at recording session?
We started playing the piece during my senior season (08). We did not record it that year, and if I'm not mistaken, it was not recorded this past year either. Honestly, we may never see an official recording of this, as it is so short that it's more of a chant and less of a song. If there is an official recording, it will probably be when the next MMB retail CD drops, probably in at least a year or two.
Yeah, I remember we didn't record it at that session; I was wondering if it happened at the '09 session.
I've been to every home game for over 20 years, and have never heard that before (still might not have...the "GO" was much clearer than the music on the clip). But then, I'm in section 18 now. Take from that what you will.
Didn't the Blue album come out in '08, and the Maize album last year? I was hoping it might be an annual thing. Also, props to Coach Rod for the sick new tradition, along with the singing of Hail to the Victors in front of the student section after a win.
The Blue Album was delayed for years for a number of reasons, one of the major ones being securing the rights for several of the tracks (Zeppelin and Queen were particularly difficult to procure, if I'm remembering correctly). It's got stuff from 2003 through the 2006 seasons, and came out during the summer of '08.
The Maize Album came out sometime last year, it's '07 and '08 stuff.
I'm not sure if the every-two-year trend can continue. Honestly, there's not too much of a demand for a new MMB CD that often, there's really only so many times you can repackage the traditional music, as (let's be honest) that's what people are buying it for. The halftime stuff is essentially filler.
Retailers already have droves of Blue and Maize, not to mention the copies the MMB sells themselves (and have to pay almost full retail price for before they can sell them). If I was the MMB administration, I'd hold off three or four years. They're more due for a new DVD release than another CD anyway.
"They're more due for a new DVD release than another CD anyway."
I'll say.... As far as I can tell, they've never released a DVD of the band! I see official-looking people with video cameras swarming the band and percussion section during all kinds of performances and step-shows -- what's happening to all of this footage?? Where is it going? I would love to buy a MMB DVD, but it just doesn't look possible which is a shame.
MMBVideo is mostly for archival purposes and the video yearbooks, which are sold only to band members and their families, not to the general public. There's a yearbook done every year, it's two discs, one which is just a static camera in the press box of all the halftime shows and one pregame, and another that's fully-edited that doesn't have every song but has shots from the field and such edited in. The licensing makes selling to the general public difficult and cost-prohibitive.
The last time the MMB did an all-out video for the public, as far as I know, was 2001-2. I'm pretty sure it was only released on VHS.
The footage, AFAIK, is mostly used for season DVDs, showing each of the shows plus some other footage, which the band members can buy in the spring. The edited footage is always really well done. Frankly I always thought these were available to the public, but I guess not. I'm sure they'd be willing to sell you some of the old DVDs if you were to ask. Try the MMB website for contact info.
Some example footage here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LF5UTCUnwkE
Sadly, it looks like Bando (above) is right. After a little digging I found: http://sitemaker.umich.edu/mmbvideo/home
On the order form it says, "Sales are limited to MMB Members, Family & Alumni only." I guess it must be some sort of liscencing thing. Bummer. Sorry.
how about temptation?
EDIT: found it along with other ones iuse them for custom stadium sounds
Am I the only one that is a little annoyed by Intimidation?
I think it is fully successful in keeping the crowd quiet. When third down came up the crowd would immediately (while the other team is in the huddle) get loud. Now instead of that we are listening to the band and faintly yelling "oohhh" every couple seconds instead of screaming our heads off. People give up on it and get loud by the time the ball is about to be snapped, but by then isn't it too late?
Just look at the above clip. People are more concerned with the band and wiggling their fingers than they are about making noise.
Personally I find it to be a bit hokey. It's classic Boerma trying too hard.
Apperantly I was slow to notice, but the first time I heard it on TV was for the ND game last year. I thought it was the ND band playing something annoying (like the cheer they do where their fans pump their fists up and down all out of sync) and I ripped on my cousin (ND alum) for their band playing a song with a really whiny ending to it. Then I heard it for later games and realized it was our band playing it.
Compare it to Temptation, which sounds much cooler. Like the Roman army just bulldozing some hapless band of barbarians. Definitely not whiny and desperate sounding like Intimidation is.
Did this replace 'key play' nonsense? How long has it been since I was at a home game? Oh God, am I old? I'm old, aren't I?! OH GOD!!
And use the free Audacity software to record it. Audacity can record any audio playing on your PC.
Note: you'll also need to download the LAME plugin if you want to export your audio recording to mp3 format. Just read the instructions on the website.

"Hey," the kid said. "I can get you out of jail."
I politely said no. Standing in lockup, after all, was a rare photo opportunity. The kid shrugged and walked off, and there I stood alone in my cell, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in front of me, the Mark Twain Riverboat docked to my left.
Welcome to the Legends of Frontierland, Disneyland's wacky new live-action role-playing game running daily inside the theme park. Legends of Frontierland pits guest against guest in a battle for control of a fictional town — in this instance one that's set inside Disneyland's vision of the Old West.
Or something sort of like that.
Even for a resort with wench-auctioning pirates and hitchhiking ghosts, the recently launched Legends of Frontierland is often absurdly nonsensical. To play Legends of Frontierland is to partake in live theater as much as it is to participate in a game.
Cory Rouse, the game's primary architect and a team member in Walt Disney Imagineering's research and development department, admitted, "It's hard to describe."
Guests become a character of their own creation, and roles are often outlandish. Sometimes you're playing a card game within the game, sometimes you're drinking what's described as the "worst tasting drink in the West," and sometimes you're just standing in front of Big Thunder Mountain in a makeshift jail.
Disney has been rapidly adding game-like experiences to its parks. Legends of Frontierland, which runs at least through Labor Day, is one of two games brought to the 59-year-old Anaheim resort this summer. The scavenger-hunt-like Adventure Trading Company opens Aug. 1 in neighboring Adventureland.
Legends of Frontierland is a different beast, relying heavily on improvisation. It hearkens back to Frontierland's beginning, before the park constructed Mine Train Through Nature's Wonderland and its replacement, Big Thunder Mountain, when the land was largely populated with costumed Wild West characters — "traders, trappers, cow hands, 'two-gun men,' dudes and dance hall girls," reads some of the park's promotional descriptions of Frontierland from 1955.
There are rules to Legends of Frontierland, but they're vague and amazingly, one won't find any of Disney's trusted brand icons here. Instead, Disneyland visitors will meet employees — "cast members," in park parlance — with such names as Coyote Chris, Willum or Red, and players will have the opportunity to use in-game currency to buy land, including park landmarks such as "old-timey saloon" the Golden Horseshoe.
In the Legends of Frontierland, anything goes — as long as it's family friendly.
Just ask the woman, her character's name was McFly, manning the jail cell on a recent Thursday afternoon. Want to know what can get you thrown in the slammer? Well, everything, really.
"You can write an arrest warrant if you see someone chewing with their mouth open. That's unconscionable."
That wasn't the only crime on her mind. She put her hands on her hips for dramatic effect and then looked a reporter up and down. "Someone can write a warrant for you because you're wearing plaid on a Thursday and maybe they don't like the looks of plaid on a Thursday."
At the game's core, guests will be asked to pick a town, either that of Frontierland or Rainbow Ridge, the dying community glimpsed in the Big Thunder ride. Players will complete various tasks or activities in the hopes of amassing a collection of little wooden tokens, "bits," which can be used to buy land or bribe others. The team with the most land wins, but it's far from competitive.
Legends of Frontierland takes Disneyland's ethos of creating an alternate reality and runs with it, regularly asking guests to engage in behavior that pushes the boundaries of what's likely considered courteous for a theme park. In my first five minutes of the game I was given a task via telegram and asked to read its message aloud, repeatedly, throughout Frontierland.
The announcement stated that a talent show would be taking place in front of the Golden Horseshoe in 15 minutes. At first, I read it timidly, not wanting to disrupt a fellow guest's experience. Full disclosure: I'm an annual passholder, one who is at Disneyland once or twice per month and most often alone.
I had a couple friends with me this time, nervous that my shyness would overcome me or that a role-playing game with strangers would too abruptly challenge my belief that a trip to Disneyland is a personal experience.
"When you walk through this experience you'll notice everyone has a name tag on, either for Rainbow Ridge and Frontierland, guests and cast member alike," Rouse said. "You can't really see what's going on until you go to that initiation. It's like putting on glasses for a 3-D movie."
As the three of us stood there holding that telegram, something changed. First, fellow players asked what it said. Then a young girl also wanted to know. Then a Disney cast member shouted at us: "You better get reading that telegram!" We looked at each other, we looked at the telegram, we closed our eyes and we shouted in unison.
And when we opened our eyes we saw we were drawing a crowd. They wanted us to repeat the message. So we did. Again and again and again, until eventually Willum offered a correction. "Is the talent show still in 15 minutes? That's what you said 10 minutes ago."
We had been shouting for 10 minutes.
We may not have known exactly what was happening in Legends of Frontierland, but we were suddenly deep into it. That we were still a little clueless was to a certain extent by design, Rouse said.
"Rather than thinking of it like a game, we actually think of it as a mini government. How does this town actually operate? How does the jail actually operate? If we think about it that way, then we make way for people to create their own fiction," said Rouse, who in his pre-Imagineering days was a comedic improv performer in shows in and around Frontierland.
It allows for the game to be rather versatile and vary day-to-day, dependent upon the whims of the guests. I played for five hours.
Eventually, it dawned on my friends and me that we should go on some rides. Then a goat was led through Frontierland and Rainbow Ridge and "residents" were asked to follow it. We did, and then all cheered and high-fived one another. And then we bought an elixir marked "charm." It made cast members fall in love with us or give us bits.
Well, sometimes. "You're the prettiest girl in the West," one told my friend. Pretty enough for some bits, she asked? "Pretty enough for my attention," he deadpanned, and we decided to stick around Rainbow Ridge a little longer. Or is it Frontierland?

Restocking of Prospertown Lake Continuing
The NJ DEP Division of Fish and Wildlife recently stocked an additional 400 largemouth bass averaging 4 inches in length, and approximately 5,000 black crappies averaging 2 inches in Prospertown Lake (Ocean County). The stocking continues the Division's restoration of game fish populations which began in the spring. The Division also plans one last stocking in late October of bass, bluegills and channel catfish.
The lake, located within the Prospertown Lake Wildlife Management Area, had drained following the failure of the outlet structure in September, 2011. The lake was refilled over the fall and winter and stocked with 1,170 trout for the 2013 spring season.
In July, Hackettstown Hatchery staff had released 11,692 largemouth bass fingerlings averaging between 1.5 - 2 inches long. Approximately 3,500 other fish were also stocked, consisting of a mix of bluegill and pumpkinseed sunfish, fathead minnows and golden shiners. These fish reproduced during the summer months to help build a forage base for the bass population.
Anglers can anticipate good populations of catchable size bass, sunfish and catfish during 2014, but are welcome to enjoy the lake now.

Photographer turns dreams into surreal photos
If you think your dreams are out of this world, check out conceptual photographer Ronen Goldman's work. The photographer, who lives in Tel Aviv, has been recreating his mesmerizing and haunting dream fragments in a six-year series called The "Surrealistic Pillow" Project. About the inspiration behind the series, he says,
"I try and conjure up an image that corresponds with that dream and create the scene in my mind. Once that whole process is done, I switch on the photographer brain and start to try and figure out how I can technically execute the idea." Check out his blog for more behind-the-scenes action, and inspiration for his photos. Goldman's work has been prominently featured on CNN, Huffington Post and Reddit.

Man-Pleasing Chicken" (super easy and always a hit). So, I got to thinking-- what if I picked up some fresh pork chops and used the same sauce?
These are boneless pork chops. I like to cut shallow "slits" along the side, which prevents the chops from buckling. Using an oven-proof skillet, I put a little bit of olive oil in a non-stick pan. The chops were patted dry, then seasoned with kosher salt & fresh cracked pepper. On medium-high heat, I seared them until lightly golden brown-- about 3 minutes. (The oven was preheating to 425F.)

November 26, 1984
To: SJSU Managers and Supervisors
From: President Gail Fullerton
Subject: "Chain of Command"
This memorandum supersedes my memorandum on the same subject dated December 5, 1983.
The two Vice Presidents of the University are of equal rank, but it is necessary to designate one of them to act for me on those occasions when I am away from the campus. Historically, the Executive Vice President of San José State University was the responsible administrator in the President's absence. When I moved from the position of Executive Vice President to the presidency in 1978, there was an interim Executive Vice President, and the Academic Vice President was the senior administrator. Accordingly, I made the Academic Vice President the responsible administrator in my absence.
Last year, with an interim Academic Vice President and an Executive Vice President with several years of experience, I returned to the pattern of many years' standing of delegating to the Executive Vice President authority to act in the absence of the President. This delegation recognized not only tradition and relative experience, but also the fact that most of the events that require a decision that cannot await my return from Long Beach or elsewhere are such occurrences as a power failure, storm damage, a police matter, a fire, etc. That is, most urgent matters that cannot wait for decision tend to fall in the sphere of responsibility of the Executive Vice President.
For similar reasons, I am continuing to delegate authority to Executive Vice President Evans to act for me in my absence. In the event both of us are absent from campus, the following order of delegation of authority to act for the President will be in force:
- President
- Executive Vice President
- Academic Vice President
- Dean of Student Services
- Associate EVP, Facilities Development & Operations
- Associate AVP, Faculty Affairs
This memorandum will serve as the delegation of both authority and responsi?bility to the above named administrators to make decisions on behalf of the President in emergency situations when I am not available.
This memorandum is not intended to alter the normal responsibilities of any of the administrators indicated, nor should it be so interpreted.

Prosecutors review surveillance footage at Blue Agave, dismiss charge
The co-owner of a popular Federal Hill restaurant in Baltimore is no longer facing a rape charge.
Earlier this month, police arrested 29-year-old Matthew Lasimski after a customer claimed she was assaulted inside the bathroom at Blue Agave restaurant in the early morning hours on New Year's Day.
But after viewing surveillance footage, the prosecution decided to dismiss the charges.
A statement on the restaurant's Facebook page after the incident was reported blasted the accusations as an "injustice" and said "Hopefully his innocence is proven before the lies ruin us."

The future of your business lies with the youth of today
- 1 Article
'Globalisation' is quickly becoming a buzz word in the business sphere. Globalisation is leading to an array of opportunities for businesses all around the world. Much of this has resulted in the movement of manufacturing to developing nations.
Businesses, particularly large business, are unparalleled in their power to create positive change in the world. Ethical business practices can make a huge difference to young people living in these areas. For example, giving mothers fair work conditions may result in a child attending school that may not previously been able to. This impacts the country immensely. If India enrolled 1% more girls in secondary school, its GDP would rise by $5.5 billion (CIA World Fact Book). By providing circumstances that will encourage this behaviour, rather than hinder it, businesses could start a positive trend in countries in which they operate.
There may not seem to be much incentive for making this change, however while businesses are quickly realising the consumer potential of youth, the impact youth can have on business extends far beyond their purchasing power.
Growing up in a globalised world, youth see themselves as citizens of a world beyond the borders of their home nation. With this understanding, comes a great sense of responsibility. Young people all over the world are becoming more aware of the impacts businesses can have; both positive and negative. So, with globalisation comes another trend of active consumers. These consumers are prepared to make active purchasing decisions, and care strongly about ethical business practices. Young people who are buying a business's products in a developed nation, are likely to consider the impact that purchase will have on the life of a young person elsewhere in the world.
Young people begin to make decisions about the brands they will purchase from a young age. Businesses recognise this, Volvo began marketing to young people in the hope of building a lifetime relationship (The Guardian, 2013). Understanding the needs and wants of young people, particularly the issues they care about, is vital for sustaining business.
The youth of today are unlike any other market. Constantly connected and informed, young people are likely to make conscious business decisions based on their personal views. A young person who cares deeply about animal welfare, will not purchase a product that contains palm oil. Furthermore, they are able to find out more information, and spread their decisions with their networks faster than ever before, meaning decisions could extend out to many other young people. This trend is likely to strengthen with each up-coming generation being more informed and more connected. If businesses hope to survive they will need to begin to respond to the demands of young people.
Catering for and marketing to youth is very different to encouraging youth participation. Businesses must be able to do both if they hope to remain successful in the future.

GREENSBURG —St. Helena Parish high school students could be dining in a new cafeteria next school year, after the School Board approved a low bid Thursday for renovations of the former technical college buildingnext to the high school campus.
Blount Construction, of Walker, won the contract with a base bid of $592,000, according to figures presented by Clay Slagle, senior program manager with Volkert Inc.
The base bid includes water and sewer improvements, architectural improvements and electrical work to convert the space into a food service area for the high school students, Slagle said.
Estimates for the work prior to the bid process ran just under $700,000, "so we're extremely pleased with this low bid," Slagle said.
Kitchen equipment was also put out for bid in the form of three alternates.
"We broke up the equipment because we were concerned about the price of the base bid and didn't want to have to rebid it all if the low bid came in too high," Slagle said.
Blount's three alternate bids totaled $270,600, bringing the total bid for base and all alternates to $862,600.
The district's budget for the renovations is $750,000, which will also have to cover architectural, program management and geo-technical service fees, Slagle said.
However, Blount's equipment supplier committed to honoring the quoted prices until May 31, giving the board about six months to secure more funding and complete the renovation project phase without having to re-cost the materials, Slagle said.
Volkert and Blount will host a job and contractor fair in December to give area workers and subcontractors an opportunity to meet with and offer their services to the general contractor, he said.
Construction is expected to begin by early 2013 and take about five months to complete, Slagle said.
Following the cafeteria renovations, the School Board plans to create a media library and build out classrooms in the former technical college building.
Other business before the School Board on Thursday included:
REDISTRICTING: The School Board approved a redistricting plan that gives board members the same district boundaries and voting precincts as their counterparts on the parish Police Jury.

Huskies Bring Home 3 of 4 points
After ten straight home games dating back to December 7th, the Huskies hit the road to Grand Forks to play a weekend series against the University to North Dakota. The Huskies came back home three points richer and in sole possession of first place in WCHA.
Friday's game was in St. Cloud State's favor from start to finish. Jonny Brodzinski put the Huskies on the board just past the four minute mark of the first period on a shot from the right faceoff circle that snuck its way past UND goaltender Zane Gothberg for Brodzinski's tenth goal of the season. Then, at the 16:36 mark of the first, senior co-captain Ben Hanowski added his ninth goal of the season with a shot from the slot to put the Huskies up 2-0, which would be the score after the first frame.
While there were no goals scored in the second, SCSU was still able to dominate the period, controlling the puck for most of the period and outshooting UND 11-5. The shots on goal after the first two periods were 18-8 in favor of SCSU. The eight shots on goal for UND was a season low after two periods of play.
Jonny Brodzinski struck the back of the net again in the third period at the 7:35 mark to give the Huskies a 3-0 lead. It was his second of the game and twelfth of the season. The score would remain 3-0 until Rocco Grimaldi scored a tip-in power-play goal from the slot to finally put UND on the board with 6:11 left to play in the game, and spoiling a shutout opportunity for SCSU goaltender Ryan Faragher. Faragher finished the night with 15 saves on 16 shots, and survived a late flurry of shots in the final minute of the game.
Saturday night featured a more even affair but this time by North Dakota had the slight advantage. UND came out flying to start the game, but it was the Huskies that found the back of the net first. A powerplay goal by Ben Hanowski, his tenth of the season and second of the weekend put the Huskies up 1-0. The Huskies got another powerplay shortly thereafter, but UND was able to steal the puck and bring it into the SCSU zone. That's where Corban Knight was able to find Danny Kristo for a shorthanded goal. UND wasn't done yet, and at the 15:45 mark of the first, Corban Knight scored a goal of his own to put North Dakota up 2-1 after one.
The Huskies were quickly able to notch the game back up at two less than two minutes into the second period with Ben Hanowski's second goal of the game, third of the weekend, and 11th of the season. The goal from Hanowski would end up being the last goal of the game, thanks to the play goaltenders Ryan Faragher and Clark Saunders. The rest of the second period was penalty-filled as both teams racked up ten penalty minutes in the period. UND also outshot SCSU 9-4 in the second, and held a 24-12 advantage after two.
The third period was goal-free and penalty-free. Both teams gave everything they had to try and gain a lead. Ryan Faragher was brilliant in the third, single-handedly keeping the game tied for SCSU, stopping all nine shots he saw, including three more after a scoreless overtime period, and ended the night with 34 saves.
The tie marked the first tie of the season for the Huskies. The three points earned gives the Huskies 25 points total for the season. Minnesota, who entered the weekend tied for first place in the WCHA split their series against Minnesota State. The Gophers now have 24 points, just one shy of SCSU who sits atop of the WCHA standings this week.
St. Cloud State moved up in USCHO rankings again this week, now sitting in 12th place. They made waves in the PairWise rankings over the weekend as well, now holding down 9th place. The Huskies also received some notice in the USA Hockey polls, sitting in 13th place.
The Huskies are back on the road this weekend to the Sanford Center in Bemidji to take on the Bemidji State Beavers. Both games will be aired on 88.1 FM and online. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:37 PM on Friday, and 7:07 on Saturday. For news and updates, check out our twitter.

(Reuters) - New Jersey Republican Governor Chris Christie harshly criticized the National Rifle Association on Thursday for referring to U.S. President Barack Obama's children in an ad that advocates putting armed guards in schools, calling it "reprehensible" and "wrong."
"I think it's awful to bring public figures' children into the political debate," Christie said at a press conference in Trenton, New Jersey.
The NRA ad, posted online on Tuesday, calls Obama a "hypocrite" for expressing skepticism over a NRA proposal to put more armed guards in schools following the shooting in a Newtown, Connecticut, school last month that killed 26 people, 20 of them six and seven years old.
"Are the president's kids more important than yours?" a narrator asks in the ad, pointing out that Obama's two daughters have Secret Service protection.
"To talk about the president's children or any public officer's children who have - not by their own choice, but by requirement - to have protection, to use that somehow to try to make a political point is reprehensible,"
"I think any of us who are public figures, you see that ad and you cringe," said
Christie, who is considered a possible Republican presidential contender in 2016, said the ad undermines the NRA's credibility at time when gun control has moved to the center of the political debate.
"It's wrong and I think it demeans them and it makes them less of a valid trusted source of information on the real issues that confront this debate," he said.

Quinn Hall, 55 Lower College Road, Kingston, RI 02881
The URI Historic Textile and Costume Collection, located in Quinn Hall, contains almost 30,000 objects. The mission of the Collection is threefold:Teaching Research Exhibition
Objects in the Collection include both costumes and textiles from all over the world. Besides a few pre-Columbian Peruvian textiles and early Egyptian cloths, the earliest holdings date to the late eighteenth century. Several collections of handwoven textiles and clothing from Rhode Island families date from this period. Early everyday wear is one of the strengths of the Collection.
Nineteenth-century clothing and accessories for American women, men, and children are well represented in the Collection. The Accessions Committee is judiciously adding twentieth-century objects, particularly designer garments. The ethnographic textiles and costumes come from many cultures that have a strong textile heritage. Recent additions to the Latin American and African collections have begun an effort to increase the holdings from those areas.
Researchers, quilters, private collectors, and others interested in historic costumes and textiles are encouraged to use the Collection. Appointments can be arranged by calling the Textiles, Fashion Merchandising and Design office at 401-874-4574.
The special collections department of URI's Library houses the related
nike air max 1 amsterdam x parranda 5gvjor5v3t
of more than 40,000 paper patterns from the mid 19th century to the present time, and 50,000 images, curated by Dr. Joy Spanabel Emery.
The Gallery was opened in 1999 after several years of fundraising and renovation of the space. It serves as a showcase for items from the Department'sHistoric Textile and Costume Collection.
Developing the exhibits (currently 2-3 per year) is an invaluable experience for the Department's graduate students as they work towards careers in museums, historical societies, and conservation labs.

DEEPSEA CHALLENGE / The Expedition
More than 50 years ago, two men climbed into a massive, blimp-like submersible, descended about 35,800 feet (10,912 meters) to the deepest point in the ocean, and became the first people to observe the dark underworld of one of Earth's most extreme environments. No one had been back since, until March 26, 2012, when
white nike air max for kids
, a National Geographic explorer-in-residence, made a record-breaking solo dive to the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench in a custom-built submersible that he co-designed.
Photograph by Charlie Arneson DEEPSEA CHALLENGER preparing for a dive
Although best known for directing films such as Titanic and Avatar , Cameron is an avid explorer with 72 submersible dives to his credit—51 of which were in Russian Mir submersibles to depths of up to 16,000 feet (4,877 meters), including 33 to Titanic .
For this expedition, Cameron squeezed into a pilot sphere so small he could not extend his arms. He was the sole occupant in a complex, 24-foot-long (7.3-meter-long) craft made primarily of highly specialized glass foam. As he maneuvered on the ocean floor amid unexplored terrain and strange new animals, Cameron filmed footage for a feature-length documentary and collected samples for historic research. Why? To promote exploration and scientific discovery.
The dive was part of the
expedition, a partnership with
nike free run 50 mens price philippines smartphone
that took Cameron, along with fellow pilot Ron Allum and a team of engineers, scientists, educators, and journalists, to the greatest depths of the ocean—places where sunlight doesn't penetrate and pressure can be a thousand times what we experience on land. After years of preparation, the team went to the Mariana Trench, a 1,500-mile-long (2,400-kilometer-long) scar at the bottom of the western Pacific Ocean. There, about 200 miles (320 kilometers) from Guam, Cameron continued the work that nike air jordan retro 5 v bel air
, the first men to dive the trench in the nike blazers purple and white jordans
, started in. While the Trieste was not equipped to take pictures or get samples, Cameron and his DEEPSEA CHALLENGER submersible were armed with multiple cameras and a mechanical arm for scooping up rocks and animals. These samples could enable groundbreaking discoveries: Studying the forces that shape these trenches could help us to better understand the earthquakes that cause devastating tsunamis; studying the fauna that survives there could lead to breakthroughs in biotechnology and our understanding of how life began.

For the past few years, the Baton Rouge Area Chamber has had the "crazy idea" of promoting the Capital Region as one of the South's leading growth economies.
But the organization is seeing evidence this marketing is paying off, said Adam Knapp, BRAC president and CEO.
"This is becoming less and less crazy every year," Knapp told the Baton Rouge Press Club on Monday.
Knapp summarized 2012, which was a strong year for the chamber. The group played a role in bringing 13 economic development projects to the area, which will create 1,128 new direct jobs, he said. BRAC has set an annual goal of bringing in 1,000 new jobs, with a $40 million payroll.
But these new jobs will account for a $78.1 million payroll. The average annual wage per job announced will be $69,237, 148 percent higher than the median worker income in metro Baton Rouge.
The new projects are expected to create 2,300 direct and indirect jobs, 2,400 construction jobs and generate $200 million in new state and local tax revenue, he said.
The new jobs represent a $3.5 billion capital investment. In comparison, from 2006 to 2011, all of the economic development projects in metro Baton Rouge had a total capital investment of $2.7 billion, Knapp said.
He said the new jobs come mainly from two industries: petrochemical and digital media. The petrochemical industry is booming because of low natural gas prices and the easy access to an ample supply in the Haynesville Shale. Digital media has taken off because of state tax credits.
"In the words of Shakespeare, we hope past is prologue," Knapp said.
BRAC is forecasting economic growth of 1.5 percent in the Capital Region this year, as the area continues to recover from the national recession. The chamber hopes to add 1,000 jobs this year, with a payroll of $48 million.
To help this, the organization has launched a targeted recruitment program to generate foreign direct investment in the region. Three foreign companies announced major economic development projects in 2012: Methanex, a Canadian company, will spend $550 million to move a methanol plant from Chile to Geismar; Avalon Rare Metals, another Canadian company, will invest $300 million in a rare earth elements separation plant in Geismar; and SE Tylose, a German company, will invest $120 million in a hydroxyethyl cellulose plant near Plaquemine.
"We have a full wind in our sails as a region," Knapp said. "We're pushing hard to take big steps."

Spearmint is a beautiful coat with a romantic lolita twist. Spearmint is a stunning option when fashionable outwear is needed. A gorgeous oversized flounce collar cascades around the neck while one statement button holds the coat closed. The coat is fully lined with princess seams that provide shaping and in seam pockets to keep your hands warm. View A is designed to hit at the knee. View B is a longer winter version and hems at mid calf.
For this version I used a sparkly Marc Jacobs wool boucle and made it 5 inches shorter than view A. There are tons more photos and lots of detail on the blog post here: http://www.lolitapatterns.com/my-spearmint/
Also, the group sew-along for this pattern starts today. Details are at: http://www.lolitapatterns.com/spearmint
This coat looks so gorgeous on everyone who makes it! And it can look totally different if you choose a lighter weight fabric or don't use hair canvas in the collar. Many versions have a softly draping collar. It is so exciting to see all the different versions people make based on their preferences. A round up of many versions around the web can be seen on Pinterest here: http://www.pinterest.com/lolitapatterns/spearmint/
Another cool thing is that the lining is bagged completely by machine..no hand stitching required at all! Very neat technique that can be easily applied to any lined jacket.
Patterns comes in both printed physical form and PDF.

Meopta USA Presents Redesigned MeoPix® iScoping Adapter™ for the iPhone 5
HAUPPAUGE, NY, January 11, 2013 – Meopta USA announces the latest version of its popular MeoPix® iScoping Adapter™ – the MeoPix 5. In 2012, the MeoPix set a new standard in the digiscoping market with its simple and affordable patent-pending solution for taking long-range photos and videos through binoculars and spotting scopes with the iPhone 4/4s. Meopta is now raising the bar with the introduction of the new MeoPix 5 for the iPhone 5.
The updated design, with its slim profile, slips easily into a shirt pocket, and the new removable and interchangeable eyecup interface allows the MeoPix to double as a sleek and durable stay-on-case between shots. The shift to an interchangeable modular eyecup allows the user to easily transition between different sized optics.
"The new MeoPix was inspired by the slim, clean lines of the iPhone 5," says Reinhard Seipp, general manager and COO of Meopta USA. "We are thrilled by the success of last year's MeoPix 4/4s and were determined to make this next version even better. We spent a lot of time in the field getting feedback from hunters, birders and photographers, and the result is the new MeoPix 5. Whether documenting trophy bucks, identifying an elusive species, or simply capturing a professional grade photo, the MeoPix is truly a game changer and it's only getting better."
The new MeoPix 5 debuts at the 2013 SHOT SHOW and will be available for purchase shortly thereafter.

Regulations dealing with vehicles on state lands and deer management units heard
The Kansas Wildlife and Parks Commission conducted a public meeting on Jan. 10 in Independence. During the public hearing portion of the meeting, commissioners heard three proposals to amend regulations.
Parks Division director Jerry Hover presented the Commission with a proposal to amend K.S.A. 115-8-13, which deals with the use of motor vehicles on KDWP lands. The amendment, which was approved unanimously by the commission, defines vehicles legal on KDWP roads as motorized vehicles registered with the state or corresponding authority for legal operation on interstate highways, federal highways and state highways. However, the amendment also allows persons with disabilities to apply for permits that will allow them to use certain motorized vehicles on designated areas of public lands. This permit is designed to provide disabled persons with better access to public land recreation opportunities and is specific to each public area or state park. The permits will be issued by local area and park managers.
In other public hearing action, Wildlife and Parks Commissioners approved staff proposals to revoke K.A.R. 115-4-6a, which established archery deer management units. Archery deer management units were stricken from deer-related statutes during the 2007 legislative session.
The Commission also voted to revoke K.A.R. 115-4-14, which defined the Landowner Deer Management Program. The program had just one applicant, and that landowner withdrew last year. The program is unnecessary due to changes that will occur in the nonresident deer permit allocation process. As a result of those revocations, the Commission also passed amendments to K.A.R. 115-4-6, which defines firearm deer management units. The amendments removed reference to the landowner deer management program, deleted the reference to firearms in unit descriptions.

Something to keep in mind the next time a choice morsel tumbles from your grasp.
You know the five-second rule? We know you do.
It turns out it may be true that food dropped on the floor -- or ground, shelf, keyboard, you name it -- is safe to eat for one-one-thousand , two-one-thousand, three one-thousand, four one-thousand, five one-thousand.
Students at Aston University in England, and led by a professor of microbiology, monitored the transfer of germs from a variety of indoor floor types to various types of food.
There are, naturally, a ton of variables, but overall the study found that it probably won't kill you to eat that fallen cookie.
And it's just as well. The researchers found that 87 percent of people admit to eating dropped foods at least on occasion.

IAVI's Partnership Model
Neutralizing Antibody Consortium continues to make significant contributions to the design of vaccine candidates that have the potential to neutralize a broad spectrum of HIV variants.
The engagement of developing countries, where the AIDS pandemic has taken its greatest toll, is essential to IAVI's model. IAVI and its partners in Africa have established a highly regarded clinical research network to evaluate AIDS vaccine candidates and conduct related epidemiological research. More recently, the Government of India's Translational Health Sciences and Technology Institute has partnered with IAVI to establish an HIV Vaccine Discovery Program.
IAVI serves as a bridge between sectors and has forged many longstanding partnerships with researchers in government, academia, industry and the non-profit sector to advance AIDS vaccine development. IAVI provides its partners with support in translational research—the processes essential to converting scientific concepts into products that can be manufactured on a large scale and evaluated in humans. At the same time, the organization seeks to harness the unique expertise and resources of industry to design and develop vaccine candidates, in part through partnerships in which IAVI assumes much of the risk associated with the early stages of such efforts. These partnerships are instrumental to IAVI's efforts to quickly advance the most promising candidates forward.
IAVI also partners with civil society groups around the world to advocate for continued investment in new tools and strategies to prevent HIV transmission. The organization works closely with policymakers, HIV-prevention advocates and communities in which vaccine trials are conducted to sustain support for AIDS vaccine development. IAVI also conducts policy analyses in partnership with government agencies and other organizations to model the potential impact of HIV vaccines on the AIDS pandemic and monitors funding trends in HIV-prevention research.

Big Run trying to recover after rash of arsons
BIG RUN — Big Run Borough Council, at Monday's meeting, congratulated members of the Big Run Volunteer Fire Company on a job well done, despite the adverse circumstances of dealing with the many arson fires that occurred throughout the area over the past year.
Big Run Borough Council President Nick Lantz congratulated the members of the fire company for continuing to do a great job even though Anthony Overbeck — who police charged last week with arson and other offenses — had belonged to the Big Run Fire Company at the time of his alleged crimes.
Lantz said that the residents of Big Run should continue to be observant and keep watch in their neighborhoods and throughout the town.
"I hope that he's (Overbeck) the only person involved with the fires,"Lantz said.
Joe Buterbaugh, Big Run mayor, said he's hoping that Overbeck acted alone also.
"So far, we don't know if he acted alone; we have to wait and see what the official report says when it's released," Buterbaugh said.
Todd Peace, Big Run Fire Volunteer Fire Company chief and Kristina Anthony, fire company president,thanked council for their support during this trying time.
Anthony said the arrest of Overbeck was a large blow to the fire company.
Punxsutawney-based Pennsylvania State Police said at a press conference last Thursday that Overbeck, 18, Big Run, was charged with a number of crimes that include arson and related offenses in connection with the Aug. 9 fire at an unoccupied residence on Pennsylvania Avenue in Big Run.
Overbeck, who was identified as a member of the Big Run Fire Department, has been implicated by police in several other fires that have occurred back to 2010.
Overbeck had belonged to the fire department approximately six months and was not a firefighter when a majority of the suspicious fires were set.
At a press conference last week, Jefferson County District Attorney Jeffrey Burkett said more arson-related charges against Overbeck are likely forthcoming.
In other business:
• Peace and Anthony presented a proposal to the members of council regarding a new contract.
Peace said the millage for the borough would remain the same at 1.5 mills, but council would increase its donation to the fire company from $1,500 to $2,300 per year.
The fire company's contract with Big Run is set to expire at the end of the year.
Lantz said council would discuss the contract proposal at its upcoming budget meetings and contact the fire company when it had an answer.

Wheat Monument
"On July 4, 1987, the people of Williston dedicated this Monument to agriculture. It is a tribute to the men and women of the land who settled the prairie and raised wheat and other grain. Their labors made wheat the economic staff of life for the prairie and the nutritional staff of life for the world. The Monument was designed and built by David Njos. It is located in northwest Williston, in Davidson Park. This monument has three black granite plaques, the same stone used in the National Vietnam Memorial. Names of area pioneers of the last century and the next century have been and will be engraved on the black granite stone. Three iron stalks of wheat rise above it, 35 feet into the sky. This is a permanent and fitting tribute to remind future generations of the progress made by our loved ones. Since the dedication of this monument, there have been continued requests to add names to this remarkable tribute. The funds received are being held in trust and only used for the repair, maintenance and promotion of the monument. There is every assurance the monument will continue to be a tribute to the pioneers, without dependence on any governmental funds or other financial support. If you want the name of a loved one engraved on the monument, please contact First National Bank & Trust Company of Williston, PO Box 1827, Williston, ND 58801, or call 701-572-9618."

3 animals die in Winston-Salem house fire
3 animals die in Winston-Salem house fire
Three animals died and a firefighter suffered heat exhaustion in a Tuesday afternoon house fire in Winston-Salem.
Neighbors reported the fire just after 1 p.m. in the 2400 block of Union Cross Road. No one was inside the home, and the homeowner was out of town, fire officials said.
The animals that died in the fire included two dogs and an exotic bird.
The fire was under control by 3 p.m. Smoky and breezy conditions caused crews to keep onlookers back, and a section of Union Cross Road was temporarily closed.

Frederick (Theodore Albert) DeliusEnglish-German
Frederick Delius was born in Bradford, England, in 1862, the son of a reasonably rich merchant. He played the piano and learned the violin when he was young, and visited Covent Garden when he was 13 to hear Wagner's Lohengrin. When he left school, he succumbed to his father's wishes and joined the family's wool company. This gave him the opportunity to visit Paris and Norway on business, where he made acquaintances who were to influence him in later life. In 1884 Delius persuaded his father to lend him some money so that he could move to Florida, USA, and set up business as an orange grower. Moving to Solano Grove, Jacksonville, he ignored oranges and started serious composing, learning music from a friend there, Thomas Ward. Delius also contracted syphilis.
Delius then moved to Danville, Virginia, and earned a living singing, teaching and playing the organ, before discovering that his father (who had disapproved of music-making as a profession) had decided to pay for Delius to attend the Leipzig Conservatory. While in Leipzig (1886-early 1888), he composed much music and met Grieg, who encouraged him and persuaded his father to continue his financial support of Delius' career. After the 18-month course ended, Delius moved to Paris and became a 'social animal', mixing with artistic types, including Paul Gaugin. By around 1895, he had completed several operas, songs, and chamber pieces, and the next year met his future wife, the young painter Jelka Rosen.
In 1887 Delius moved with Jelka to Grez-sur-Loing, near Paris, marrying her 6 years later. He continued to compose, writing works such as On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring (1912). There was a brief spell when Delius and his wife fled to England during the First World War, suffering from the loss of German royalties. After the war, however, the syphilis began to affect Delius' health severely, and he was soon blind and paralysed, with Hassan (1920-23) being the last work he could write with his own hand. A young man named Eric Fenby offered his services as a transcriber of Delius' music so that he could still compose, and after a long period of learning Frederick's ways, the two managed to continue to produce numerous works, including Songs of Farewell (1930).
In 1929, Sir Thomas Beecham staged a Delius Festival, which the composer attended, and Delius was made a companion of honour. But he was very ill, and his final years in France saw very little movement on his part. He received a few visitors, including Elgar , but died in 1934. He wished to be buried in his garden, but French law prohibited it and he was finally buried in Limpsfield in Surrey.

Police described the explosion as a terror attack. It endangered truce talks taking place between Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, and Hillary Clinton, the US Secretary of State.
A police spokesman said that of the wounded, five people were moderately to seriously hurt.
"A bomb exploded on a bus in central Tel Aviv. This was a terrorist attack. Most of the injured suffered only mild injuries," said Ofir Gendelman, a spokesman for Mr Netanyahu.
The bus was charred and blackened, its side windows blown out and its glass scattered on the asphalt.
An Israeli driver who witnessed the explosion told Army Radio the bus was "completely charred inside." Another witness said there were few passengers on the bus when it exploded.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said authorities were investigating whether the bomb had been planted and left on the bus or whether it was the work of a suicide bomber.
Witnesses told the BBC that they saw a man leave something on the bus near the nation's military headquarters.

The attack happened on the eighth day of an Israeli offensive against the Gaza Strip which it launched with the stated aim of preventing rocket strikes from the Palestinian enclave.
Celebratory gunfire rang out in Gaza City when local radio stations reported news of the Tel Aviv explosion.
The last time Israel's commercial capital was hit by a serious bomb blast was in April 2006, when a Palestinian suicide bomber killed 11 people at a sandwich stand near the city's old central bus station. "There are about 10 people wounded of whom three are in serious condition," emergency services spokesman Zaki Heller told public radio.
"There was an apparent explosion on a bus in Shaul HaMelech Street in Tel Aviv. The background and circumstances are not clear yet," police spokesman Luba Samri told AFP.

News of the explosion came as Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, is engaged in strenuous shuttle diplomacy to wring an elusive truce deal from Israel and Gaza's militant Hamas rulers, after earlier attempts to end more than a week of fighting broke down amid heavy overnight bombing.
Mrs Clinton joined other diplomats in shuttling between Jerusalem, the West Bank and Cairo, trying to piece together a deal after a week of fighting and mounting casualties.
After meeting Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister, in Jerusalem on Tuesday night, Mrs Clinton conferred with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank on Wednesday morning.
She then returned to Jerusalem for further talks with Mr Netanyahu, Ehud Barak, the defence minister and Avigdor Lieberman, the foreign minister.
She was due to travel to Cairo, carrying Israeli demands for further Egyptian assurances that the flow of arms to Hamas, the militant faction that controls Gaza, can be cut off.
Protesters angered by the eight-day Israel operation to bomb Gazan rocket arsenals gathered outside the Ramallah complex housing the Palestinian Authority as Mrs Clinton met Mahmoud Abbas, its president.
The US envoy arrived in Israel last night and met Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister who launched Operation Pillar of Defence last Wednesday. He said the US and Israel would take the opportunity to align their positions so that diplomacy could draw the conflict to a close.
"If there is a possibility of achieving a long-term solution to this problem with diplomatic means, we prefer that," he said. "But if not, I'm sure you understand that Israel will have to take whatever action is necessary to defend its people."
Sources in Gaza reported the death toll in Gaza had reached 139 by Wednesday morning.
Instead of an expected cessation, Israel's military laid on a heavy bombardment of artillery and aerial bombing on Gaza after warning residents to move to designated "safe areas".
In the hours of darkness, Israeli forces targeted dozens of "terrorist infrastructure sites". More than 30 strikes overnight also included government ministries and a banker's empty villa.
At least four strikes within seconds of each other pulverised a complex of government ministries covering a city block, rattling nearby buildings and shattering surrounding windows. Hours later, clouds of acrid dust still hung over the area and smoke still rose from the rubble.
The list of targets destroyed in bombing runs included weapon depots, smuggling tunnels and rocket-launching bases.
A Hamas operations centre on the seventh floor of a high-rise building was hit. Offices in the building included media organisations, who were warned their status would afford them no protection as Israel sought high value targets.
"Warning to reporters in Gaza," the army said in a message on Twitter. "Stay away from Hamas operatives & facilities. Hamas, a terrorist group, will use you as human shields."
Three journalists were among the dead on Tuesday as Israel hit cars it believed contained Hamas figures.
Two worked for news outfits affiliated with Gaza's Hamas government and a third journalist worked for a private radio station was killed in a separate incident.
Two Israelis were also killed by rocket fire from Gaza, bringing to five the casualties in Israel.
Egypt's Islamist government is mediating talks and had floated hopes for a ceasefire by late Tuesday.
Hamas leaders in Cairo accused the Jewish state of failing to respond to proposals and said an announcement on holding fire would be pushed into Wednesday.
Officials suggested that no outcome would be sealed until Mrs Clinton met President Mohammad Morsi in Cairo this afternoon.
